Overview

OsmoBSC is an Open Source BSC (GSM Base Station Controller) with A-bis/IP and A/IP interface. It supports a variety of BTS Vendors/Models, including some Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson and ip.access models. However, main focus during the last 5+ years is OsmoBTS based BTSs.

Osmocom provides binary packages for several flavors of Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux on a variety of architectures (i586, x86_64, armhf, armv7l). Unless you are a software developer interested in developing on Osmocom, it is recommended you use those packages instead of building from source.

If the manual for the program of your particular interest area is missing or you find it incomplete, we kindly ask you for your contribution in form of patches against http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-gsm-manuals/ (or, alternatively Funding)

The Osmocom community primarily communicates using public Mailing_Lists. Feel free to subscribe the list related to the project of your interest and join the discussions there. Some community members also hang out on the #omsocom IRC_Channel.
